Separeted Mesosoma

Hi guys I am new here , I recently bought a emperor scorpion and it have a betwen the 3 and 4 Mesosoma from the right side separated and I am worried if it is lethal for the scorpion. Thankyou. In the moment I dont have pictures because I dont have a camera but will ask my friend to lend me his camera and will put some photos.[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]

hi welcome to the forum...i dont think anyone can really comment on it without seeing a photo really

If it's not leaking or bothering the scorp dont worry about it, its not going to usually use its stinger for anything anyway except taking a crap.

I see those all the time. Usually the scorpion does fine and is not bothered by it. Mine survived for a over a year as an adult until it died of unknown causes.

I saw the 'deformity" at the 3rd and 4th Mesosoma, it shouldn't bother your Emp much
btw what is your Emp munching at? lizard? Nice!

lolz .. but true..

It's called an impaction, and no one's really sure why they happen to scorps or how to prevent them (or how dangerous they are).

As an aside, I'd like to advise against feeding your emp vertebrates -- too much calcium can be detrimental, and the leftovers will stink to high hell if you don't clean them out right away.

I think oclusion intestinal but your shot is bad quality or bad manipulation steady a shock (my bad english lol)

im sure i read somewhere that a blockage can cause this too, as Anthony.T says above ...i may well be wrong though lol
